Process Data Archiving and Reporting
Process Historian and Information Server
Configuration of the Information Server
In addition to the SIMATIC PCS 7 Information Server Basic
Package or the SIMATIC PCS 7 Process Historian and Informa-
tion Server Basic Package, for configuration of the Information
Server you require cumulative SIMATIC PCS 7 Information
Server Client Access licenses corresponding to the number of
clients that access the Information Server.
The Information Server is able to access one or multiple data
sources in parallel. In addition to the Process Historian, this
might also include archive data from operator stations
(OS single station, OS server). Unlike when you access the
Process Historian, you need cumulative licenses for SIMATIC
PCS 7 Information Server Data Source Access to read data from
OS single stations and OS servers. The license volume depends
on the number of sources.
The installation of the SIMATIC PCS 7 Information Server Client
Access and Data Source Access licenses is performed on the
Information Server.
Configuration options
The SIMATIC PCS 7 Process Historian Conversion Pack 2x
Server to Server Redundancy enables you to convert two
Process Historian (PH) servers with the Process Historian Basic
Package to redundant PH servers with Process Historian redun-
dancy.
Conversion of Central Archive Server (CAS)
Change in product from CAS to Process Historian
A change in product from CAS to Process Historian is possible
with products from the SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.0 range. In the sepa-
rate catalog section "Previous versions", the following conversion
packages are available under "SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.0, Process
data archiving and reporting":
•
SIMATIC PCS 7 CAS Conversion Pack "Single CAS Software
V7.1+SP4/V8.0 to Process Historian Basic Package V8.0" for
conversion of a single CAS to a corresponding Process
Historian
•
SIMATIC PCS 7 CAS Conversion Pack "Redundant CAS
Software V7.1+SP4/V8.0 to Process Historian Server Redun-
dancy V8.0" for conversion of a redundant CAS to a redundant
Process Historian
The single or redundant Process Historian V8.0 can subse-
quently be upgraded to V8.2 (for further information, see
"Update/upgrade packages, Upgrades from SIMATIC PCS 7
V8.0/V8.1 to V8.2, Upgrades for Process Historian and Informa-
tion Server").
Migration of CAS database
The migration wizard of the Process Historian V8.2 supports the
migration of CAS databases of SIMATIC PCS 7 V7.0 and higher.
